Community Connections

Community Connections

Community Connections shines a light on local charities whose compassion, service, and dedication strengthen the fabric of our community. By sharing their stories, we hope to inspire others and help the spirit of giving spread throughout our towns.

Under the spotlight today: Kind Works Inc

An interview with Cody Foss, Kind Works Inc

How do you brighten our community?

Kind Works exists to connect our community with kindness — bringing people together through shared experiences that foster compassion, belonging, and human connection. We teach kindness by providing intentional programs rooted in social-emotional learning, empowering students and community members with practical tools they can use every day. Through art, education, and inclusive community initiatives, we inspire kindness in visible and meaningful ways, creating ripple effects that strengthen our schools, neighborhoods, and workplaces.

Who do you serve in our community?

The entire population, our programs are inclusive and adaptable to include everybody!

What are you most proud of?

That an organizations whose mission is based on teaching kindness exists. I'm also so proud of our volunteers and their belief in kindness.

What are some of your future impact goals?

One of our future impact goals is to ensure that children experiencing crisis receive immediate effective intervention and counsel, emergency shelter, medical and psychological care, and connection to support services they require; Furthermore, to provide children the individualized medical, therapeutic, educational and family services necessary to stabilize, heal from trauma and achieve developmental gains; and to maintain a strong community awareness and presence by providing prevention and outreach services that give children, youth, and the adults with whom they interact the information and skills needed to identify and address problems before they are in crisis;
